About My Family
I am a theological and professional counseling graduate from Slidell Baptist Seminary and the Texas Women’s University graduate program. I attended the Criswell College from September 1997 to December 1999 in Dallas, Texas, and prior to that graduated from the Deeper Life Bible College–Liberia. I have been a pastor, conference speaker, marriage counselor and a Bible teacher for nearly 30 years. I have hosted many radio and television programs over the years. I am a simple and practical preacher of the Word with clarity and revelation.
I am married to Sarah T. Kollie. We are blessed with three children—Matu (34), Famata (22) and J. Allen (19). We are the first-generation of Christians in our families. I was born in Liberia, and Sarah is from Sierra Leone. We survived the tragedy of losing our son to trust and obey.

About My Church Plant
We are a multicultural, ethnic church of Jesus Christ. We are reaching Liberians, Sierra Leoneans, Cameroneans, Nigerians, Ghanaians and Africans at large with the simple gospel of love and truth in obedience to God. We are reaching souls in the North Dallas area with the good news of Jesus Christ. As first-generation immigrants from West Africa, we continue to reach and share the good news to reach our communities.
We are building a community of Bible and God-loving fellowship, providing salvation and hope to the lost who look like us and others. We are a replant church that nearly died after we were sent to plant churches in Africa. After our return, we met in our home to plant a new church. The old church declined so we were once again burdened to bring the two churches together under the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.
